[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 7384, member: 13"] Carcass EPDs are like any other; you shouldn't select for one single trait. We try to use bulls that have balanced EPDs across the board, growth and carcass. But I don't use bulls with negative EPDs for ribeye or marbling. And I try to stay within breed average or less for backfat. That's from my registered Angus perspective. I think it's important to know what sort of calves you're raising to better select bulls to improve your herd. [/QUOTE]
